At work

I've always enjoyed travelling whether its a new destination to explore or somewhere I've been many times before. At the end of 2006, I took the opportunity start operating my own travel agency - Explorer Travel.

I specialise in travel to Egypt, Russia, Central and Southern Africa and escorted Battlefield excursions. I have a dedicated website for each of these:

Egypt and the Red Sea
Russia and Eastern Europe
Central and Southern Africa
Escorted Battlefield Tours

Hopefully, I can provide some useful information regarding these and other destinations I have visited.

On holiday

As with most people, I have a destination I go back to regularly but I also like to find and explore new places in the world. Time and money also come into the equation.

For family holidays, we normally head off to Sharm el Sheikh. I'm free to go off scuba diving while the family relax on the beach. In the evening, we go into Na'ama Bay or the Old Town for a meal a couple of drinks.

Although Sharm is an old favourite, we also like to discover new places too. Zimbabwe is a possibility for 2010 but we'll see how things work out.

I also like to try to visit places that are relevant to my business which in turn means I can offer better advice to people looking to go there on holiday.

Social Media

Social media is all around us nowadays and you can also find me and my business on Facebook:
